A masterful a cappella choral work by the highly respected composer and musician Robert Kreutz (1922‚1996). This sophisticated setting begins with wonderful use of motivic imitation, which occurs through all the voice parts and proceeds to take us on a musical journey that employs intriguing shifts in tonality, meter, and tempo. These compositional techniques serve to place the emphasis first and foremost on the text throughout the piece.

In his Christmas motet Hodie Christus natus est Schutz employs the full mastery of his madrigalian musical language and exploits all the sonorous richness which the six part scoring offers him. The choral groups alternate in singing the greeting of peace pax to each other, the alleluia scales continue playfully and with sophistication, continually crossing. A work which is well-suited to church and chamber choirs, and will be a joy to sing at Christmas time.Separate edition taken from Vol. 19 of the Stuttgart Schutz Edition (Complete Edition Carus 20.919)..
